Tai Chi Hall.

Li Mu is not unfamiliar with this place. He had been here several times when Li Yuan lived here before. But this was the first time he stayed here after Li Shimin entered the Tai Chi Hall.

The palace under the night sky adds a touch of mystery.

The palace maids and eunuchs were holding lamps and filling in the lamp oil. Li Mu looked at their movements and suddenly had an idea in his head.

You have to be a candle!

Even the palace can’t afford candles. You can imagine how the people are doing. There is no light at night, so how can nightlife be rich?

If the nightlife is not rich, how can the money-making plan be implemented?

Li Mu was thinking about things and couldn't help but feel a little stunned. As Li Shimin walked, he felt that Li Mu was not behind him. He turned around and saw him stunned at Gong Deng, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you looking at? What's the best thing about lamps?"

"Ah?" Li Mu calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, I am thinking that the palace lanterns cannot be illuminated with candles, but I have been using candles at home. It's so extravagant."

Li Shimin felt warm and thought to himself that the child still knew how to reflect on himself, so he asked, "Since you know how to make a difference, you don't have to feel guilty if you change it."

"Huh?" Li Mu said with a confused look on his face, "Your Majesty, I have no guilt."

"No guilt?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "Then what do you mean by saying this? You don't want to replace the candle with lamp oil."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't have this meaning at all. The candle is so bright, the lamp oil still smells, it smells harsh. My meaning is that I am indeed a capable young man. Candles that Your Majesty can't afford, I can afford them."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth: "Li Mu! How dare you joke with me?!"

"Your Majesty calm down!" Li Mu laughed and said, "You misunderstood me. I have only a few people in my family. How many candles can I use? Even if I have made so much money, I can't spend it at all. I think it's reasonable. As for your majesty's expenses, aren't you responsible for the treasury? Let me find a way. In less than half a year, I will definitely use excellent candles in the palace. What do you think?"

"Hmph! You guy knows what you are like!" Turning around, he paused for a moment, and then said, "Cannouncements are not low. It is too luxurious to use candles in such a big place in the palace. The money you make is of great use. You can't spend it randomly. The lamp oil is just lamp oil. I have been used like this. I have become accustomed to it, so I don't need to change it."

Li Mu ran two steps and came to Li Shimin and said, "Then I can take your Majesty first? I'll send you some candles so that your Majesty can see clearly when you review the memorials in the evening."

Li Shimin still shook his head and said, "If I use it but the queen doesn't, how can I feel at ease?"

Li Mu knew what he wanted and said quickly: "Then prepare it for the queen? Although the candle is expensive, if it is only used by His Majesty and the queen, it will not cost much. The money minister will pay."

When the two walked into the hall, Li Shimin sighed, "Don't you know the queen's personality? If she is willing to use it herself, I will worry. Over the years, she has to give her anything to others. Even if she can't cover everything, the four concubines will want it."

Li Shimin sat down on Hu's bed, stretched out his legs, pointed to the side, and signaled Li Mu to sit down as well, took off his shoes and socks, and the smell of old sauerkraut spread.

Li Mu held his breath and quietly turned his head away a little.

Li Shimin seemed to have not noticed it and was still sighing: "The Master said: Don't worry about being weak but not being equal, don't worry about being poor but not being uneasy. In fact, even the most perfect reason is that women are like this, and I am already overwhelmed."

At this time, Eunuch Gao brought the dinner here and ate in the palace, which was naturally a separate meal. Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and could finally escape Li Shimin's "poisonous gas" range. Otherwise, at this distance, he would definitely not be able to eat anything.

Eunuch Gao handed over a cushion, Li Mu thanked him, and sat under his butt. Eunuch Gao wanted to remind him that it was for kneeling, but when the words came to his mouth, he smiled and didn't say anything.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and Eunuch Gao bowed and said he left.

Li Mu looked at the food tonight, a dish, a soup, a bowl of corn rice, a steamed bun, and a piece of roasted meat. He didn't know what kind of meat it was, and he couldn't help but frown.

The emperor eats this?

Li Mu was a little sad.

Without comparison, there is no harm. In Zhulu Hou Mansion, there is meat for every meal at the servant's dining table. Not to mention Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu, they both have to kill four lamb legs every day.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's usual dinner was like this kind of simple meal.

What does this emperor mean in front of him?

When Li Shimin picked up his bowl, he didn't look like he was eating. He started eating with a sneer. Suddenly he saw Li Mu not moving his chopsticks and asked, "Why, why aren't the food in your house better? Can't you eat it?"

Li Mu looked at Li Shimin with a pair of eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so frugal. You just tell me that no matter how bad I am, I can earn this money for you."

"I think it's pretty good." Li Shimin smiled and said, "When you were in Mayi, did you eat meat?"

Li Mu shook his head: "No, at that time, my family was barely alone, so where did I have money to buy meat? Not only me, but even the county magistrate, he had no meat to eat, because the cattle and sheep were stolen by the Turks."

"So I swear that if I have the opportunity to eat meat in the future, even if I vomit, I will eat it. I can't go back to when I can't afford to eat meat, never!"

Li Shimin pointed to Li Mu's bowl and said, "Isn't this meat also? Although the cured meat is not as fresh as the freshly slaughtered, it tastes good."

"I can't eat it." Li Mu felt uncomfortable and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that saving like this is useless. Below you, all the civil and military families of the court, who don't eat meat? Can you control yourself, and still control them? How much can you save yourself? Just a drop in the bucket, can you save out your armor or weapons?"

Seeing Li Mu so excited, Li Shimin put down his chopsticks, pondered for a while, and said, "Li Mu, you are right. I am frugal alone, and I cannot change anything. Civil and military officials and family families should eat and drink... But I want to ask you, is it really useless?"

"If I, like the former Emperor Yang of Sui, imposes heavy taxes for my own selfish desires, and is extremely cruel and extravagant, everyone in the world will think that those who are superiors should do this, and will the people still have a good life?"

"If I could be more thrifty, others would know that I would not agree with the arrogance and extravagance in my heart. In this way, they would be restrained when doing things. The results you see now are already restrained."

"Then why didn't Your Majesty issue an order to set rules..."

"Ha!" Li Shimin smiled again and said, "Li Mu, why do you think the nobles of aristocratic families and civil and military officials support me? If there were no high-ranking officials, how many people would be willing to do things for me?"

When Li Mu heard these words, he felt depressed, but he could not refute them. He understood the truth, but in his subconscious, he thought that if he was so depressed, what else would he mean!

"Don't be wronged for me. My ambitions are not about eating and drinking. As long as you earn a million yuan for me and create an invincible army for me, even if I eat braised vegetables every day, I will be happy."

"Oh..." Li Mu sighed and stopped saying a word, picking up the bowl and squeezing rice in his mouth. He was not as delicate as he could not eat it. When he was a chef in the Turkic camp, he had eaten everything he could eat, and had eaten grass roots, and what else could he not swallow?

After finishing the meal in silence, he still carried forward the "Change Spirit" and there was no grain of rice left. Seeing that he had eaten clean, Li Shimin was very satisfied. He called Eunuch Gao in to clean up and nodded to him again.

Li Mu didn't know what this nod meant, his eyes were a little confused.

Not long after, Eunuch Gao brought a woman in. Li Mu was so scared that he almost screamed. Wang Ou? She, how could she be in the palace!

Li Mu instantly felt a green grassland growing on his head!

When I thought about it, it seemed something was wrong. According to the first and then, although nothing happened to Li Shimin and Wang Ou, they met first, and they should have made Li Shimin a betrayal.

No, it’s the green one that should be Wang Ou’s dead husband.

Still wrong!

Li Mu calmed down, why did Wang Ou appear here at this time? Could it be that Li Shimin had discovered something?

It seems that today is dead!

Li Mu felt dim and watched the "Wang Ou" walk up to him. Suddenly he was stunned and noticed a strange place. This person seemed not Wang Ou.

Although it looks very similar, it shouldn't be. This person looks in his thirties and has a plump figure. He looks like a woman, not like Wang Ou. Although he is thirty-two years old, he has a slim figure and no wrinkles on his face. He looks only twenty-five or six.

The appearance and body shape of this woman are in line with her age. Beautiful is beautiful, but she has a completely different temperament from Wang Ou. When she looks at it from a distance, she is 90% similar. When she walks into these details, she only has 70% similarity.

But this was enough to surprise Li Mu. He had never heard Wang Ou say that she had a twin sister!

Li Shimin was not surprised at all when he saw Li Mu's shock. He pulled the woman closer, pointed at Li Mu, and said, "This is what you always mention the Zhulu Hou Li Mu whom you want to meet. How about you, younger than you think?"

The woman looked over, and Li Mu quickly stood up and bowed.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, this is Yang. You heard the emperor's sister-in-law talk about her just now. Do you know the reason?"

Have you just heard of it?

Li Mu recalled what Zheng Guanyin said
